With 3DEXPERIENCE® World 2020 (formerly known as SOLIDWORKS World) just around the corner we thought it was a good time to look at the benefits NVIDIA Quadro professional graphics boards can bring to your SOLIDWORKS workflow.

For creators, designers and engineers working with the most demanding multi-application workflows, Quadro RTX provides ground-breaking performance, professional features, enterprise level support and workstation-class reliability. NVIDIA’s commitment to Quadro customers is never over. Quadro drivers are released throughout the year to supercharge your most used and demanding applications. These new drivers bring you maximum performance and stability – thanks to extensive driver optimization software engineering and rigorous ISV application testing.

As a market leader in technology information for design engineering teams, Digital Engineering’s focus is on cutting-edge editorial content to help design engineering teams discover, evaluate and specify the technologies and processes that shorten the design cycle and enable optimal designs. It is not surprising that in the current June Issue there are three articles featuring NVIDIA Quadro GPUs and how they are making a difference to design workflows.

Combining ground breaking technologies like real-time ray tracing, AI, advanced shading and simulation, all in in a single slot form factor, the NVIDIA Quadro RTX 4000 brings a whole new level of efficiency and productivity for your SOLIDWORKS design workflow.

The rendering performance of Quadro RTX combined with SOLIDWORKS Visualize makes it even easier to import models from SOLIDWORKS and support realistic, physically based materials, lighting and environments — all on a user-friendly interface.

With the Quadro RTX 4000 GPU, SOLIDWORKS 2019 delivers a major graphics performance boost. Taking advantage of real-time ray tracing and AI denoising users can now produce instant photorealistic images with SOLIDWORKS Visualize. Quadro RTX 4000 enables lightning fast view manipulation for large assemblies, dynamic view operations are dramatically faster, and users see full model detail and fewer dropped frames with no stutter or jitter when rotating large models.

Form initial concept to product release, PNY’s new PREVAILPRO with its powerful performance in an ultra thin and light mobile workstation is helping to revolutionize design and manufacturing workflows.

Discover how designers are using NVIDIAQuadro GPUs to bring concepts to creation on the latest PNY PREVAILPRO P4000 mobile workstation or in photorealistic VR environments at SOLIDWORKS World, NVIDIA booth 601, February 4-7, at the Los Angeles Convention Center.

Visitors to PNY’s Partner Booths including the NVIDIA booth will discover how Quadro GPUs provide exceptional performance in all SOLIDWORKS applications with smoother, more realistic performance in every design mode. See for yourself how Quadro GPUs deliver the high performance needed for design and manufacturing workflows like immersive, collaborative VR, rendering physically accurate materials, and world-leading AI for generative design software.

Nor-Tech, with the introduction of the Nor-Tech VCA RenderIT, is joining the growing list of PNY Partners providing VCA Certified Systems. Specifically built and rigorously tested for demanding designers and visual effects professionals, VCA Certified System are powerful network-attached appliances that harness the power of the highest performing NVIDIA GPUs to deliver photorealistic images on-demand and are tested for reliable, stable and secure enterprise use.

Every VCA Certified System passes an NVIDIA developed extensive qualification process prior to shipment, delivering unrivaled performance and stability for any multi-GPU rendering workflow. PNY Partner built VCA Certified systems allow customers to purchase from their regional, local, or vertically aligned system integrator or manufacturing partner. This better addresses the increasing demand for GPU accelerated rendering while providing the best purchase experience, support, product quality, stability, features, and performance available for your organization’s needs.

The Quadro P4000 and SOLIDWORKS combine to help you push your designs to the limit and beyond. Now you can work with larger assemblies, use RealView and SOLIDWORKS Visualize to bring your designs to life and do it all better and faster with the power of the P4000 featuring the latest NVIDIA Pascal GPU architecture.

SOLIDWORKS® Visualize (formerly Bunkspeed) provides a suite of standalone software tools with native NVIDIA Iray® technology integration, which allows designers and engineers to see their products in photorealistic quality early in the development pipeline. By leveraging NVIDIA Iray technology and Quadro GPUs, users can interactively visualize design changes during their workflow, with full confidence that they’re seeing a lifelike, photorealistic virtual product. This also means SOLIDWORKS Visualize users can take full advantage of NVIDIA Iray Server distributed rendering software to further reduce the time needed to create photorealistic images by scaling Iray rendering across all available network-connected workstations.
